It's a well designed product that should accomplish what you're looking to do, but be advised that it was not designed to be sonically transparent. It's somewhat colored. The idea is that the buyer wants to hear the tube. You should also consider getting two units and run them mono. It will give you twice the number of EQ bands. Upscale from the Aphex you might look at a Manley Pultec or a Drawmer. If tubes are not a big factor, the Night Technologies EQ3 is quite good.
